Cute now. Not so cute 3 months from now when they've absconded with all things edible from the garden, because they've exploded exponentially and there are so many "cute" baby bunnies to feed. The only thing I'd dispatch sooner would be baby raccoons.

My absolute least favorite thing abut country living is when the dogs and cats injure some little animal without actually killing it. The dead things I can deal with fine, but I hate the mercy killings of injured animals.

They are adorable as babies - fun to watch from afar - a pain in the patootie from anear my garden. Our barn cat is a good hunter and since he can't come in the house - what I don't know does me no harm. Thanks for the cute though!

Aaawwww! I finally started keeping our dogs out of the pastures in the spring, cuz one of them in particular had a gift for finding bunny nests. Another question for your ridiculously long list: how do you feed all these animals? Are you able to raise all their food as well, or do you need to purchase? We finally have our own hayfield this year, which will be an over-the-top blessing....

Can I keep it MOM --can I can I !! please oh please!!I"ll feed it,walk it every day -- can I keep it??!! yea right--nope.But Sarah Kitkat Kate brought to you the bunny alive. Here's a present for you MOM!!

Baby bunnies ARE cute but, yes, a problem when they grow up. My little Peanut has dispatched at least 4 babies that we know of, but she leaves them for the cats to eat. And she is QUICK - no rescue and release for her critters!

Hey, if you zoom in on your pic, you have one of those great eyeball reflection shots - I had one like that (see it on my header page entitled Imperfect). I always think it's kind of neat when that happens.

There is absolutely nothing cuter on earth than a wee baby bunny. (Except one's own children.)

My golden retriever brings me tiny baby bunnies completely enclosed in his mouth and completely unharmed. If I can't find the nest, I have to drive them two hours away to the nearest wildlife rehabilitator's house.

Yes, I am a complete bleeding heart. Yes, I realize this is the same animal as the adult rabbit I curse. But oh, the cuteness!

Oh! My! We have one about this size living in our backyard with its mom and dad. We haven't seen more; it may be the only one in the litter to survive. But wow, how adorable. and in case you wondered, my garden is fenced.

January 2013 update: I know word verification is a big pain, but it's the only way I can stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I get every day.
